I will call some attention to it. One of the very infrequently posting members of PSB, John has a website to promote his new (and future) books.
Deadhouse chronicles the exploits of a diverse team of death investigators at a coroner’s office in Pittsburgh. Ed Strimlan is a doctor who never got to practice medicine, so instead he diagnoses how people die. Mike Chichwak is a stolid ex-paramedic, respected around the coroner’s office for his compassion and doggedness. Tiffani Hunt is twenty-one, a single mother who questions whether she wants to spend her nights around dead bodies.
All three deputy coroners share one trait: a compulsive curiosity. A good thing too, because any observation at a death scene can prove meaningful. A bag of groceries standing on a kitchen counter, the milk turning sour. A broken lamp lying on the carpet of an otherwise-tidy living room. When they approach a corpse, the investigators consider everything. Is the victim face-up or down? How stiff are the limbs? Are the hands dirty or clean? By the time they bag the body and load it into the coroner’s wagon, Tiffani, Ed and Mike often have unearthed intimate details that are unknown even to the victim’s family and friends.
We’ll skip the CSI: Pittsburgh jokes.
Congratulations, John, but now you have less excuses not to post some more from Hoopieland.
